FAQ

1. How does the 3300 XL 11 mm Proximity Probe sense shaft movement?
   It operates on the eddy-current principle, producing a magnetic field and detecting changes in impedance as the shaft moves, converting these variations into a proportional electrical signal.

2. What is the recommended gap voltage for correct operation?
   A typical operating gap voltage of around –8 V DC ensures linear output and accurate displacement measurement.

3. Which Proximitor drivers are compatible with this probe?
   It is fully compatible with Bently Nevada 3300 XL Proximitor drivers, ensuring accurate signal conditioning and calibration.

4. What vibration levels can the probe withstand?
   The probe endures vibration up to 100 g peak within the 10–2000 Hz range without affecting measurement accuracy.

5. Is the measurement affected by an oil film on the shaft?
   No, the eddy-current technology maintains accuracy even when a thin oil film is present between the probe and target surface.

6. What is the frequency response of the probe-driver system?
   The system provides a flat frequency response from DC to 10 kHz, suitable for monitoring high-speed rotating equipment.

7. Does the probe require extra shielding for electromagnetic interference?
   No additional shielding is necessary; the probe’s design includes integrated EMI/RFI protection for stable operation.

8. How is calibration maintained over time?
   Calibration remains stable as long as the probe, extension cable, and Proximitor driver remain a matched set and are installed per Bently Nevada guidelines.

9. Can the probe measure both radial and axial displacement?
   Yes, it is suitable for both radial shaft vibration monitoring and axial (thrust) position measurement when installed correctly.

10. What insulation resistance is required for reliable performance?
    The probe maintains insulation resistance greater than 100 MΩ at 500 V DC, ensuring dependable electrical isolation.
